ASAHI CHIKAI® V: Peripheral Vascular Adaptation of the CHIKAI Hydrophilic-Tip Platform for Infrainguinal Intervention
By Modern Medical Solutions Editorial Team
ASAHI CHIKAI® V extends the CHIKAI hydrophilic-tip guidewire platform from neurovascular use to peripheral vascular intervention, providing controlled low-friction navigation through diseased infrainguinal and below-the-knee peripheral arteries.
What Is CHIKAI V and What Is It Used For?
CHIKAI V is an Asahi Intecc product designed for access to tortuous or calcified infrainguinal vessels where conventional peripheral guidewires encounter excessive friction or cannot track through tight bifurcation angles. Its engineering characteristics are optimised for the specific anatomical and procedural challenges of tortuous, calcified infrainguinal anatomy at the popliteal level and in the proximal tibial segment where the hydrophilic tip coating and torque-responsive CHIKAI construction provide a trackability advantage over PTFE-coated wires.
The product is available in 0.014 in, 165 cm and 180 cm working lengths. Modern Medical Solutions is the authorised Asahi Intecc distributor for Tajikistan and Afghanistan. Contact Modern Medical Solutions to confirm availability and technical specifications for your centre’s application.
Clinical Role of CHIKAI V in Peripheral Vascular Intervention
CHIKAI V occupies a specific position within the peripheral vascular interventional equipment strategy, addressing the technical requirements of access to tortuous or calcified infrainguinal vessels where conventional peripheral guidewires encounter excessive friction or cannot track through tight bifurcation angles that are not fully met by standard peripheral equipment.
Operators selecting CHIKAI V for their caseload will find it most useful in cases involving tortuous, calcified infrainguinal anatomy at the popliteal level and in the proximal tibial segment where the hydrophilic tip coating and torque-responsive CHIKAI construction provide a trackability advantage over PTFE-coated wires. The product’s design characteristics are aligned with the specific demands of this anatomical and procedural context.
Technical Specifications: 0.014 in, 165 cm and 180 cm working lengths
CHIKAI V is specified for 0.014 in, 165 cm and 180 cm working lengths. These specifications determine the product’s compatibility with peripheral interventional equipment, the range of anatomical targets it can reach, and the procedural steps it supports within the CLI or peripheral vascular intervention workflow.
Operators considering CHIKAI V for their centre should review these specifications against their existing equipment inventory to confirm compatibility with the guidewires, microcatheters, and device delivery systems in current use.
Integrating CHIKAI V into Your CLI or Peripheral Vascular Programme
CHIKAI V integrates into a comprehensive peripheral vascular programme as part of a systematically managed equipment inventory that covers the full range of access, crossing, and device delivery requirements for CLI and peripheral arterial disease cases.
For centres establishing or expanding a peripheral vascular intervention programme in Tajikistan or Afghanistan, CHIKAI V represents one component of a complete Asahi Intecc peripheral product portfolio.
